Written by markenmut on . Posted in News Englisch, Study.

Düsseldorf, May 28, 2020: The sixth edition of the study on German valuation practice in squeeze-outs, mergers and other legal measures according to German law has been complemented by reports with valuation dates in 2019 and analyses the development of valuation practice since 2010.
The new I-ADVISE study can serve as a reference point for the most important parameters of valuations and offers an overview of solutions to a multitude of valuation questions by valuation professionals. “Surprisingly the DCF WACC approach has been applied in two cases, after a long period of total domination of the discounted earnings approach. We also noticed lower growth rates in valuations”, explains Dr. Jochen Beumer, Head of Valuation Services of I-ADVISE AG.
